Please help, I wanna connect intake fan

[marinko]

Hi ya'll


recently I bought this case fane and I like it its quite
and I would buy the same one for intake
http://www.antec-inc.com/f_smartfan.html (80mm)
on my case I have 1 hole in front buttom there I would put
my intake fan, my question is
should I connect intake fan on free power supply fan slot using
this 3-pin to 4-pin Adaptor http://www.ocsystem.com/3pinto4pinad.html
or should I connect it directly to the power ??
and by the way from experience does it get dusty with intake fan inside of case??

That smartfan already have the 4pin or molex plug so you don't need to buy an adapter (so far all the 80mm fans I got were with the adapter anyway), it's a good idea to plug 80mm and bigger fans into the powersupply instead of the motherboard. Yes dust comes with air, the more you give it the more it comes. Unless you get a filter front of your intake, then it's use - wash - use - wash... got the point.

Only if I could find some 80 or 120mm filters around here, damn stores are still in the ice ages when it comes to things like that.

so sounds like its better to leave it like it is,
would it be better (more cooler) to turn additional fan in to the
exhaust fan would I lower the case temperature??
again thanx

Normally you want 2 in and 2 out. Or 3 in and 3 out. But this also depends on the cubic feet of air each fan moves.

Try to balance the in and out. If not a more coming in is better.

I aint signing nothing!!!
